I use aim myself. What IM program do you use the most? I used to use icq but it was a resource hog, or it seemed like to me, so I unistalled it about 3 years ago.
Trillian Pro and mIrce under Windows, and Gaim and X-chat for under linux. Still fell alittle odd about paying money for an IM program, but Trillian Pro is a kick ass program.
Aim and ventrilo here. I use aim to chat with friends, and we use ventrilo to voice chat with other staff members of the forums I mod on. Ventrilo brings things to much more personal level and helps to keep any misunderstandings to a minimum.
i uh, normally jsut use aim, but i have an icq number and a msn id so I will use trillian pro agan once my rig is back up. but there are some things about trillian that annoy me, like in profiles, i can click any links or make links and half the time my profile disappears and changes back to "My Profile" >:[
Originally posted by Chilak Could it be more obvious which one is used the most? Of course trillian.
That's mainly because trillian can be used with most all the above, but the thing I didn't care for about trillian was the sounds it makes when you recieve a message. Can't turn them up loud enough through their options, so then you have to resort to upping the volume on the speakers and then everything else comes in too loud. I use aim because it's loud enough that I don't have to mess with the volume and can still hear it if I'm in the other room doing something else.
I use mostly AIM, and occasionally some MSN. I didn't like Trillian too much when I tried using it, it just wasn't as nice for me as the others were, is Trillian Pro any improvement over the standard old Trillian?

I also use nns. Simply pwns. I love the themes. I currently use water.
I'm not too sure on the big differences between normal Trillian and Pro, but I'm sure trillian.cc will help I've used both and I just really prefer Pro for reasons unbeknownst to me. Well ok maybe I know the reasons, but I can't think of them off the top of my head, heh.
